NewLedger runs its books on Paprel
The strongest proof we can show today: our own production accounting product, NewLedger, is built entirely on Paprel's embedded accounting infrastructure. Same ledger, same API, same audit model we hand to every customer.

The challenge
Real books are hard to get right — and harder to embed
A production accounting product can't drift. Debits and credits have to balance atomically, every entry needs an immutable trail, reports must reconcile to the ledger, and none of it can break under real volume. Building that correctly is months of senior engineering — and most of it isn't the product's differentiator.
The approach
Build the product on the ledger, not the ledger
NewLedger runs on the same Paprel primitives we offer everyone else: a programmable double-entry ledger over REST, signed webhooks, scoped OAuth, and MCP-native tools. Product events become balanced journals; reports, exports, and audit trails read from the same source of truth.
What Paprel provides
The accounting layer underneath
Chart of accounts, journals, invoicing and bills, reporting, reconciliation, permissions, and an append-only audit history — delivered as infrastructure. The team ships accounting features instead of maintaining ledger plumbing.
The result
Production-proven, dogfooded daily
Paprel isn't a demo we point at a slide — it runs our own books. Every primitive NewLedger depends on is one a Paprel customer gets, hardened against a real workload before it reaches you. It's the most honest proof we can offer while our first external design partners come online.
“We didn't want to sell infrastructure we wouldn't run ourselves. NewLedger's books live on Paprel in production — so every promise on this site is one we've already kept for our own accounting.”
